Congratulations Norma on reaching 1 MM this season !!!
We wish you many many more.

Thanks, Dan. And I just requested my pin for 30MM meters rowed.

Congratulations! 3/4 away around the planet.

... The last kilometers, a surge of energy, mental strength kicks in. My arms are stiff, my butt hurts, I feel the fatigue in my back, and I sense a leg cramp might hit at any moment. I try to stay focused on the PM5 and watch the distance go down. But it’s not going down fast enough. I push, I pul...

I did a 2K at the weekend and set a new PB by 4.7s (which was almost 2 years old). So I'm pleased with that :D Time Meters Pace S/M HR 6:46.5 2,000m 1:41.6 33 169 1:21.4 400m 1:41.7 32 160 1:21.6 800m 1:42.0 32 169 1:21.5 1,200m 1:41.8 33 170 1:21.8 1,600m 1:42.2 33 172 1:20.1 2,000m 1:40.1 37 174 ...

Smashed my all time pb from 22.5 years ago, March 2002, I was 32 when I set this. Just short of Sub 1.30 but am happy with the overall result, last 100m was the worst I have ever felt on a rower :D it was like I had been on a 12hr binge. I forgot what it was like. 1.30.4 500m 1.30.4 474 41 150df 17...

After the PB and British Record in the One Minute last week I had to give the 500 a good go this week so blasted away and despite just about grinding to halt on the last stroke managed a new PB and British Record in the 65-69 Lwt Category with a 0.7 improvement over the time I did back in January e...

In addition to the Dog Days, there was the Rowlympics at the end of July/beginning of August.
I think only 78 people recorded completing it on the Skierg!
Patrick and I were 2 of those, and both of us also doubled up by also completing it on the Rowerg.

Summer 2021 was when i got the C2 and so Rowlympics was the first Challenge I remember. Was fun to row against myself and beat all the times/distances, including PBs for 2k / 6k / 10k. We'll see how the training is going in 4 years as I may well want to conveniently forget these stats comparisons b...

Although for many people it is desirable to compete against others, the main competition should be with yourself. I think there are 2 weight classes for rowing only because they already existed for on water rowing. In cycling and skiing there aren't such divisions, as with most sports. Yes, as a sho...

Sometimes the best workouts come at the most unexpected times... Half Marathon PB today! I believed I'd have the fitness to beat my 1:16:15 from May, but had no idea by how much... Set out with a game plan of sitting on 1:47 for the first few kilometers, and adjusting up to 1:48s if needed. A third...

I also do all my rows strapless.

Away for work this week and the Hilton I’m in has a lovely new concept 2 that was winking at me. Was going to have a go at pb for 5k. But then decided to scratch the 10k itch that been bugging me lately. Glad I did as I took 30 of seconds off it. 37:13. Really happy with that as I put everything in...

2K time. As always, went in not expecting too much, but my recent 500m PB (5 days ago, 1:35.3 down from 1:36.6) was encouraging. Went pretty well, gain aligned to the 500m: 7:18.6 from 7:24.2.

After thursdays 10k pb I had the feeling I had to retest my 2k. Well, yes! Current pb was 8:43.3 with a 2:10.8 pace.
